Free online Absorb resources
bsorb is a series of interactive online courses for secondary schools, covering physics, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and advanced physics. Our unique simulations, interactive animations, and videos, are linked by an involving narrative, providing the basis for an interactive learning experience.
Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation.
Each title is well-suited to self-study or review, or provides a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard.

3D Dinos
Get a sense of what a living, moving dinosaur would look like from every angle with these 3D images. These pictures are the result of some clever detective work. Scientists examine dinosaur bones for clues about how they looked when they were alive. They can tell how dinosaurs moved, if they walked on their back legs or on all fours, and even what they ate.

Algodoo - Novel Physics Educational Software by Algoryx Simulation
Algodoo is a 2D-simulation environment for creating interactive scenes in a playful, cartoony manner, making use of the physics that we use to explain our real world. Algodoo is designed to encourage young people’s own creativity, ability and motivation to construct knowledge. The synergy of science and art makes Algodoo as educational as it is entertaining. Algodoo applies a constructionistic learning paradigm - learning by designing, constructing and exploring physical systems.
Design, interact and explore - It's Physics like never before!

Science on the Brain - Official Home Page
"My goal is to help kids get excited about science and engineering. I want to help kids understand how cool/interesting/fun science and engineering can be. I am trying to create experiments that are interesting to kids, and doable by kids, and meaningful to kids, and that don't require any "special" equipment so that kids (and their parents) can do them at home. I hope that I can: a) help kids get interested in science, b) help kids see that learning and science can be fun and interesting, and c) help kids to learn new things about the world around them. If we can accomplish that (I by shooting the videos and you by showing them to kids), then it's a good thing. "

Interactives
It includes interactives for Math, Science, Language Arts, and the Arts (Cinema). For example, the Amusement Park Physics activity includes content on how a roller coaster works, a physics glossary, a history of roller coasters, and an interactive step-by-step decision-making simulation of designing a coaster. Once you go through the steps, you receive a safety rating and a fun rating. If you take
a look at the Safety Inspection Report, you'll find out why your design
worked or failed based on the decisions you made along the way.
